Until just two years ago I lived in a house that was literally in the middle of the woods. I did have cell phone service but I only had dial up internet. I couldn't even get satellite internet because my house was completely surrounded by tall trees. Ultimately the lack of internet is what forced me to move into the city. I'm sure there's still a good amount of people living in rural areas that still don't have high speed internet though. For this reason alone an always on connection is not a smart idea.
